Answer: 215.2

Explanation:

Since the mean of six numbers is 184.2, this means that their total sum will be:

= 184.2 × 6

= 1105.2

Since the mean of five of the numbers is 178, their total sum will be:

= 178 × 5

= 890

Therefore, the sixth number will be:

= 1105.2 - 890

= 215.2

The sixth number is 215.2
